new potential users can't sign up

I had wondered.

I suffered the same thing on another site. Can't recall what it was now - but it's certainly frustrating.

It works to keep out the riff raff.

Who’s in charge of that kind of thing?

Lester

Richard, or if he cannot fix it, his web guy. I let him know but I don't know how to check whether it has been fixed.

DaveBass

Not fixed yet. This is what you see on the registration page:

reCAPTCHA V1 IS SHUTDOWN
Direct site owners to g.co/recaptcha/upgrade

Just kidding about the riff raff. I managed to get through...
